Gotta say I probably wouldn't have finished draft 1 when I did without this, so I could not have been happier that is came around when it did!

Our #Daily100 challenge has come to an end as we move into July! We hope the writing went well last month whether you participated for a day or all 31 💚 Reminder that you can always find our community on discord! Hope to see you there! #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

#Daily100 1,100+ words today. A lot of it is dialogue that probably slows the story down too much and will need to get cut later, but it's scaffolding that helps me get material on paper so I can chip away the inessential parts afterward. It's all part of the process.

Written my last for three of the POVs, three more to go! #Daily100 "They would do it together."

And the climax is over. I believe I will be finishing this novel by the week's end, but I make no promises. #Daily100 "Then his grip loosened, and he let go entirely."

We have a little over a week left in our July #Daily100 challenge! How's it going for you? Building up the writing habit? Getting those words? If you like events like this, don't forget to check out our Discord community and the upcoming @novelgauntlet.com challenge in October!

It's so much fun to finally be up to this point of the story. #Daily100 "The province of Lord Constance Raleigh became the boy’s home, Irisha and the family who held it had changed much by Cecilia’s time, but there was a certain glory in witnessing it through the eyes of another age."

#Daily100 It's been a few days since I checked in on this, but I had a busy few days and didn't get any writing done. I made up for it, though, with 1180 words today. And most importantly, I had a great time doing it. #writingcommunity #writesky

Coming up on chapter 35 and also the climax's end. It's a little surreal to be at this point, but I'm excited. #Daily100 "Every time the two blades made contact a distinctive crack reverberated between them, a sound which only grew with each connection."

#Daily100 Fuck, I fell off 😭 It was a tough week. Still, I want to try again for at least this week. Today's snippet: Aubergine stood behind Peaches and whistled to get everyone’s attention. “Friends, foes, and fuckers, may I have your attention, please?”

Another day of big progress. Coming up on the last chapter of the climax, then it's just the falling action (and chapter 1). #Daily100 "Oedon had defied something powerful in choosing to save Nath’s life, it would be a shame for a short fall and a sudden stop to undo such work."

Haven't really been one to put much cursing in this, but this just felt right to me. #Daily100 "It’s not on you to be anything more than that. Just be who you are, Oedon. And if that’s what fate wants you to be? Great. If not? Then fuck fate."

Forgot to update yesterday, didn't write nearly as much, but enough to be happy with the progress #Daily100 Not even the loyal mutt would think to bite the hand that feeds it. Yet mankind time and again would rage against the facilities designed to support them. Oedon found this utterly perplexing.

Wrote 1k today. I'm sooo back #Daily100 The white light peeled back, a wound that grew and festered until it encompassed the vast majority of the bright expanse. Beyond the veil of white was a violent sea of colour, bright shards of glass shattering as they collided together and birthed new colour.

Written a lot the last few days, just not for this particular book... At least I got a new battery #Daily100 "The Telanimus’ power burst forth from the past Domina’s shape. He could feel a whisper of that energy lingered still within his current form and wondered how he might use it once again."

and #Daily100 day 12

catching up on #Daily100 day 11

#Daily100 Day 12 Ended up doing a lot of reading today, so little writing. Still, got started on Peaches's nonbinary coming out party Parsnips cooked a grand feast, with plenty of sweets, since Peaches had quite the sweet tooth. He made peach-flavored ice cream, pies, and candies.

#Daily100 1,175 words of a new story today. This ought to keep me busy while I brainstorm for my longform project. And because this one's going to be short and ridiculous, I'm not worried about plausible plotlines or complex characterization! #writesky #erotica #writingcommunity #eroticawriters

#Daily100 Day 11 Actually about 1500 words today. It started rough, but once I got to the infodump, I... well... infodumped. "But they like their wedding traditions. It’s ‘cute’ and they don’t want to ruin that by thinking about how the jewels were plucked out of a person’s face.”

Hope I can finish this chapter tomorrow, it's been such a hurdle for so long #Daily100 "Instead of a cabin of dark wood, a blinding column of white light burst forth from the ground. It pulsed with energy, rippling as though it wished to become more than the shape of which it had been confined."

#Daily100 Day 10 Local enby-still-in-their-egg feels guilty challenging gender norms If she needed external validation, then Shallot gifting it to her should have been enough. Still, she had to fight her own mental block and reach a ‘fuck it’ point first.

Not entirely sold on using onomatopoeia, but I'm trialing it for this draft at least. #Daily100 "The devil was so close now. It would only take two more swings, and he would have a clear shot at Domina. THWACK. Make that one more."

Day 10 #Daily100 #amwriting Missed yesterday, but managed 200 today as well! Today's is a bit spoilery, so I'll hold off posting, BUT, I finished the chapter, so I'll finally have something to post on my long-neglected Patreon 😭

#Daily100 Success. I didn't expect the next scene to start this way, and I'm not counting on keeping what I wrote today, but it will at least help me figure out how I *do* want to start it.

#Daily100 A little over 200 today. Work week, so I didn't have a lot of time today. Snippet: She hadn’t considered that dressing like a man might make her feel less like a woman. It was obvious in hindsight, but her concern had been entirely on her own body and not on what she wore.

and day 9! #Daily100

I keep forgetting to post but I promise I've been doing my #Daily100 ! here's my day 8 snippet

Feel like I'm going to change a lot of this chapter in draft 2, but that's for me to decide when I can look back at the big picture. #Daily100 "I know now why I need to do this. Not for me or so I can prove anything, but because this needs to be done."

#Daily100 either day 2 or 8, depends on if you count from the start of the month or when I hopped on. I managed 106 words. "I set the mood by coaxing a single, dirge-like cord from my already naturally dirge-y hurdy-gurdy." #Amwriting #writingcommunity #Writesky

#Daily100 Day 8 I'm so damn exhausted, I can barely write or concentrate or ANYTHING But I did manage 200 words🤷‍♀️ Peaches accepted the gift, cautious that it might be a prank. Shallot wasn’t the sort of person who’d pull something like that, though.

Day 8 #Daily100 #amwriting Missed yesterday, but I managed just over 200 today, so it made up for it

#Daily100 Day 7 brings a change of pov

And to think Domina was once the easiest character for me to write... #Daily100 "Domina let his eyes drift shut. Morguein had asked him a question, one he had already answered to the best of his ability, but sometimes the situation required more than one’s best."

#Daily100 is still going well. I finished a chapter today, and now I have to figure out what comes next. It'll be fun.

#Daily100 Day 7 Back to writing about the Good Thyme Inn! She would want to get involved, and as much as the young adults loved and respected the innmaster, there were some pies they didn’t want her sticking her fingers in.

Adjusted some stuff from slightly earlier in the chapter, some of the dialogue overexplained what was happening. #Daily100 "Domina threw himself to the side and forced himself back to his feet, his body seemed all too eager to deny his will but thankfully seceded to the necessity of the situation."

I know I'm late but better late than never. My #Daily100 for @goblincitywriters.com challenge. Restarting Elf Thing from scratch... #Amwriting #writingcommunity #SFF #indieauthor #Writesky

#Daily100 - day 7 The painting hung on the far end of the room, wider than it was tall, and made like a triptych, a large central image with a smaller one on either side. And as she walked closer to examine it, her veins ran cold as she saw what it depicted. Her.

and day 6! 2nd best day so far with 637 words #Daily100
